[@andrewgirdlestone7607]

This man should be Knighted, what he did and how he explained some of the most complex current affairs of the time, especially the difficult one’s dealing with war, famine and tragedy. He gave us the news in his reassuring tones, we trusted what he said (and I know there were a few editorial fights about what news he could cover)

I grew up.watching newsround and swap shop and loved them.

Wow the studio set looks bloody awful. Not glam like the 70s and 80s.
